Bamboo charcoal natural deodorizer

Bamboo charcoal is a natural deodorizer from Ever Bamboo. This eco-friendly deodorizer is made with rapidly growing moso bamboo. The countless tiny holes in the bamboo charcoal make it a good deodorizer. It works as a dehumidifier because the high density and porous structure of the moso bamboo absorbs excessive moisture, and during low humidity it releases moisture back into the atmosphere.

I think it has a similar concept like mothballs where we don't see the effect, but over time we know it makes a difference. As a result of keeping this pouch of bamboo charcoal in the car, I don't smell or feel the stuffiness and odour in the car during hot summer
days, so I
believe it is working. The toxic chemical substances and polluted air particles such as formaldehyde, ammonia and benzene are absorbed by it. There is no smell from these bamboo charcoal like mothballs, which is good :)

Ever Bamboo has deodorizers for many areas in the home i.e. room, drawer, fridge & freezer, closet, shoes, hockey bags, car. The bamboo charcoal comes in granules, different size pouches and sachets. I have also placed it in rooms and closets.

These antibacterial deodorizers keep linens and other belongings in the closets, cabinets and drawers fresh by deterring moths and preventing mold. We can place it in shoes and bags to remove odour and moisture.

They also have a fridge & freezer deodorizer, which is supposed to absorb food orders, ethylene gas so the fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer.

The face and body bar can be used for any type of skin. It purifies, exfoliates, moisturizes, detoxifies and absorbs impurities.

According to the Ever bamboo site, when the bamboo charcoals are submersed in water it softens the water, absorbs harmful minerals i.e. chlorine and releases natural minerals i.e. calcium, sodium and magnesium into the water. So it can be placed in the aquarium, use as filter for bath water and other uses except drinking water. The bamboo charcoal granules will look pretty with floral designs and home decors. The granules absorb excessive moisture and releases moisture back into the soil when it is dry providing better aeration for plants and vegetables.

To maintain care for these deodorizers, simply place in direct sunlight for 2 to 3 hours per side monthly or weekly for optimal performance. After about a year when you are done using it just remove the bamboo charcoal granules from the pouch and mix it with gardening soil to mineralize and regulate moisture. Bamboo charcoal is available online and in many retail stores.
